These old print blocks, can be used to spell out meaningful text and dates, perhaps names, initials or words*.

Our treasured collection comprises of different fonts, sizes and date of manufacture, some circa late 1800's through to 1940's. All were used in the printing industry, so each block has a varying degree of ink and patina, and course all of our blocks are back to front which adds to their appeal. The letterpress can still be used for printing.

These blocks are so special nowadays as most were discarded and burnt when new printing techniques came into place. Some have been found and saved, which makes them unique and collectable, so once they are gone, they are gone!

An original decoration for the home with sentimental charm. Imagine the stories these vintage print blocks have told in the past..

I ordered a mix of 3 sizes and different letters etc of these Printers blocks. Each assortment arrived wrapped in ribbon and the whole order was wrapped in tissue paper and string - it was obvious the care that had been taken and almost a shame to unwrap them! The blocks themselves are absolutely lovely. Well worth the price in my opinion. I will be using them for art projects and shall certainly be ordering more.

An original and unique gist for my husband to celebrate our fifth (wooden) wedding anniversary .

The blocks are lovely! The seller is also very helpful and patient even though I changed my mind about the fonts a couple of times! So thank you. I have even bought another set for a friend's birthday since and the seller sent it straight to them with a Happy Birthday note from me. Now that is great customer service!

Great company. Company contacted me very quickly to let me know about an out of stock product and made suggestions for something similar. Order arrived promptly and wrapped in pretty tissue with twine bow and a little card describing the product. Would certainly use again without hesitation.

This is the 2nd time I have used these letters as a wedding gift and they are truly unique. I really feel they have an individuality about them and they are beautiful. They also smell wonderful. I'm just hoping someone will get some for me now :)

The letters are lovely, the packaging wasn't great though, I had to re-wrap them as they were a pressie.

I bought as a gift, and the recipient loved them!

Good quality original gift

Fri 18 Nov 2011

I am so pleased with this. I've bought this as a Christmas present for my husband and I know he's going to love it. Such a simple but brilliant idea. The delivery was very prompt and so lovely packaged it was a shame to open it to have a look at it. I would really love one of the big picture blocks. Maybe one day.

The products arrived in perfect time and made very nice presents. (I think the gift message would be nicer on a card rather than on delivery note.)

Image on website was a little misleading regarding product's size. The products dimensions are on the website in outdated imperial measurements which I overestimated. As happy as I am with the product I was a little surprised by how small they were. Perhaps measurements could be given in imperial and metric.

Great choice of letters, quick service.

What a special product! The letterpress blocks were our son's favourite gift for his 21st birthday! He is a Graphic Design student and absolutely loved them, however they would make a great keepsake gift for anyone!
